After refusing to extend his working relationship with Rayados de Monterrey, the legendary Spanish defender is reportedly close to opening a new chapter as a club owner. Sergio Ramos is said to have reached a preliminary agreement with the main shareholders of Sevilla to begin formal negotiations with a view to buying the club where he was formed and made his professional debut.
Sergio Ramos and a possible historic return to Sevilla
Although he has not yet announced his retirement as a footballer, Sergio Ramos is currently without a team and is already beginning to look beyond the pitch.

According to information from Radio Sevilla and confirmed by EFE, the proposal was communicated informally to some shareholders a couple of weeks ago.
The figure is said to have convinced the owning families, who agreed to open an exclusive negotiation period to review the club’s accounts and assess the viability of the deal.

The Spanish defender had two spells in the first team, one before joining Los Blancos and a second after leaving PSG in 2021. However, this third spell would be in a completely different role, as an owner, with the aim of bringing stability and a long-term vision and returning the legendary team to the top of LaLiga.

To carry out this ambitious operation, Sergio Ramos has partnered with Argentine businessman Martin Ink, CEO of Five Eleven Capital, a US capital soccer holding company.
